Blur

When Blur performed live at La Riviera in Madrid on November 3, 2003, they were riding high on the wave of their album "Think Tank." This album, which dropped earlier that year, marked a significant pivot in the band’s sound, moving away from the Britpop roots that initially defined them. It introduced a more experimental vibe, blending elements of electronic music and world influences. Interestingly enough, "Think Tank" was also notable for the absence of guitarist Graham Coxon during the recording process, which sparked a lot of speculation among fans. His absence seems to have shaped the band's dynamic back then, leading to a deeper exploration of sound as they navigated through new territories. The La Riviera setlist included hits like "Tender" and "Ambulance," showcasing both their nostalgic classics and newer works. Talk about a band that knows how to keep the energy flowing in a live setting!
